As dengue fever evolves, many are concerned and seeking effective and safe prevention methods. Combat dengue without resorting to harmful mosquito repellents using familiar herbs or specialized devices. Follow these guidelines to provide the best protection for your family.
1. Repel Mosquitoes with Familiar Herbal Remedies
Orange and Lime Peels
The enticing aroma of essential oils in dried orange and lime peels acts as a natural mosquito deterrent. Simply burn or place dried peels near a flame for a short-lived yet effective method that leaves your living space fresh and pleasant, keeping mosquitoes at bay.
Dried orange and lime peels not only effectively repel mosquitoes but also bring a fresh and pleasant ambiance to your home.
Cajeput Oil
Cajeput oil serves as a guardian against mosquitoes. Add a few drops to your bath or apply it to clothing and skin to minimize mosquito proximity. Additionally, applying cajeput oil to mosquito bites swiftly alleviates itching, reduces redness, and prevents scarring.
Lemongrass
Many households plant lemongrass to ward off mosquitoes. Lemongrass emits a distinct fragrance that confuses mosquitoes, preventing them from locating you for a bite. If planting lemongrass isn't feasible, purchase a lemongrass plant and place it in a water-filled vase. In a few days, the lemongrass will grow, providing an indoor mosquito deterrent.

Peppermint (Spearmint)
Peppermint not only repels mosquitoes but also prevents bees, ants, and spiders from approaching your home. Purchase a handful of peppermint, crush it, and place it in corners, on top of cabinets, or near windows. This method effectively deters mosquitoes for 1-2 days, while also infusing your indoor space with a refreshing and pleasant aroma.

Mosquito Repellent with Essential Oils
For busy individuals, natural essential oils can be purchased and placed indoors. Choose pure oils extracted from natural herbs instead of synthetic fragrances for effective mosquito repellent. The most efficient essential oils for mosquito control include lemon, lemongrass, lavender, peppermint, and tea tree oil.

2. Mosquito Eradication with Household Electrical Devices
Not just about repelling mosquitoes from your living environment, you need mosquito eradication measures. Sometimes, herbal remedies and essential oils can't fully prevent mosquitoes from entering your home. Enhance your defense with mosquito-repelling devices that are safe and effective. Depending on your needs, choose one of the following mosquito-killing devices:
- The mosquito swatter is compact, lightweight, and easy to handle. With its three tightly-woven electric grids, it is highly sensitive. Users can simply move the device to mosquito-prone areas to efficiently eliminate mosquitoes within seconds.
- The mosquito-catching lamp operates on the principle of using a UVA light to attract and trap mosquitoes and other insects.
